A HAPPY New Year! Oh such may it be! Joyously, surely, and fully for thee! Fear not and faint not, but be of good cheer, And trustfully enter thy Happy New Year! Happy, so happy! Thy Father shall guide, Protect thee, preserve thee, and always provide! Onward and upward along the right way Lovingly leading thee day by day. Happy, so happy! Thy Saviour shall be Ever more precious and present with thee! Happy, so happy! His Spirit thy Guest, Filling with glory the place of His rest. Happy, so happy! Though shadows around May gather and darken, they flee at the sound Of the glorious Voice that saith, 'Be of good cheer!' Then joyously enter thy happy New Year! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NEW YEAR'S POEM by MARGARET AVISON A SPEED OF HISTORY by MARGARET AVISON NEW YEAR'S DAY by DAVID LEHMAN LINES FOR THE NEW YEAR by JULIE CARR I AM RUNNING INTO A NEW YEAR by LUCILLE CLIFTON FOR THE NEW YEAR (2) by ROBERT CREELEY CONSECRATION HYMN by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL I DID THIS FOR THEE!
